Princess half marathon

[Megan Merrill]

I'm planning on running the Disney World Princess half marathon in February! Has anyone ever ran this race before that can provide any tips? I'm having a hard time fundraising, my friends won't even donate $5! ): Has anybody had any success fundraising for a Disney race? My hubby won't let me pay the whole $1000 on my own so I won't be going if I don't get the fundraising ball rolling! What has everyone done to raise money?! Thank you!

Board rules say we can't fundraise here FYI.

Apart from that, there are some running for charity on the 80+ page Princess thread found in the WISH/Events forum here on the dis. Scroll down the forum list, find the thread and join! The charity runners wi have suggestions there.

I could never run for charity because I refuse to ask for money like that. I trust that my buddies have their charity-giving worked out already. I'd end up covering the whole cost by myself. Good luck!

It costs $1000 to enter?! That's like triple whammy. First, you gotta train and then run it, than you have to sell your soul for the privilege!! I've gotten "arrested" for MDA and was able to raise just shy of $500 a few yrs ago and that took a crazy feat, and no running either.

No wonder its called Princess...you'd have to be one to afford to run in it?!

Haha I guess so! That seems to be the case!

If you choose to run for charity, there are fundraising requirements.

You can also just register for it, though the RunDisney events are extremely popular and not everyone that wants to get in will get in. But if you know when registration is and manage to get in, while its speedy for a running event and there are costs for travel hotel etc, it's not 1k to run the Half.

The registration for this marathon sold out an hour after it opened! I really want to run it so I chose to try to raise the money for charity, I figured it's for a good cause! I'm trying to lose baby weight & needed some motivation, & what's more motivating then Disney! I also wanted some advice from people who have ran in the Disney marathons before, since this will be my first time!

Here's the Official PHM thread. There's a lot of helpful people there who can give you some running advice:
